Was it really a year ago.......

.....that my nephew Dan and his wife Sarah were married? Where does the time go?
I made this card to celebrate their first anniversary. The card base is an 8" square and the papers are from a First Edition pad. I used two different designs of paper, cutting one down so that it covered half of the green paper. I punched the edge of the blue paper with a MS border punch. I picked up some mesh ribbon a while ago from the pound shop over the road from our craft shop and it was perfect to add to this card. I also created a bow (not easy because the ribbon is quite thick) to which I added a Pink Petticoat sentiment tag, and a WOC bloom. For the centre panel I cut a scalloped rectangle and topped it with an embossed panel matted onto grey paper from the pad. The man & woman figures were cut from green and blue glittercard then adhered to the embossed panel with foam pads. I gave them each a little heart punched from the same paper but giving each figure the others heart (altogether now-aaaahhhh!)
'First' was cut from silver glittercard and adhered flat above the figures. A smattering of blue and green gems completes the card.
Carts used:
Scalloped rectangle- Elegant Edges
Couple- Going Places
First- Baby Steps
Number One Son is 23 tomorrow and I made him a fun card which I'll be back to show you then.
